Baltic amber is a natural analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory. When it is worn on the skin, the warmth of the skin releases trace amounts of healing oils on the skin. Commonly known as "teething jewelry," Baltic Amber has been a natural and traditional European remedy for teething discomfort for hundreds of years.

Our Baltic amber teething necklaces have been designed to ensure the safety of your child by knotting before & after each bead so in the event that the necklace does break (it is designed to break if excessive force is applied) only one bead will come off and the remaining beads will stay intact. The plastic screw clasp is designed to release if excessive force is applied to the necklace, which ensures the highest safety. Traditional clasps used on children’s necklaces (lobster claw clasp and ring) rely on the ring or necklace breaking to release. The beads on each necklace are small enough that in the event the necklace did break and a bead came loose, it would not present a choking hazard.

Amber necklaces can be worn by children aged 3 months to 2 years of age - which is typically the time infant teething stops. Getting your baby used to wearing an amber necklace from a young age is a good idea as the earlier the baby starts with the necklace, the easier it becomes a part of them. In fact, most infants and toddlers don't notice they are even wearing one!

Please note that the variations in size are due to the handmade nature of these items. If you are looking for one on the shorter side (or vice versa) please let us know!

PLEASE NOTE: These necklaces contain small parts! The necklaces should be removed from the neck when your child is sleeping. Children should always be supervised when wearing any kind of jewelry.
